Hey, Ya Few Here

(CW: incest, gaslighting, abuse; img source: ohtori.nu)

I have no idea if this interpretation of the Shadow Girls’ play in episode 10 has been originated by anyone else, but I was rewatching recently and had a lightbulb moment about it that I wanted to talk about and didn’t see anywhere else, so here we go.

Because sure, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were being shamelessly cuddly, but Jin Guangyao—the man who was revealing his supervillain masterplot bit by bit throughout this altercation—spent a portion of that time on his knees in front of Lan Xichen with a tearful, "it's not true baby let me explain," routine—during which you can physically see Lan Xichen yo-yo in real-time between fully buying into jiggy's excuses, then snapping himself out of it with a colorful spectrum of emotions that are definitely in contrast with the Lan family precepts.

What's worse, not only are Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen essentially two of the biggest celebrities of the cultivation world, but most of the cultivators present actively work for Jin Guangyao. That is their boss ugly crying on the floor trying not to fumble the man they are actively holding as their prisoner.

MY internal monologue: I’m being kicked out. He doesn’t care if I stay or go. This is terrible.

@crithir​ GREAT news, we do get to see this moment a few pages later!

my inquisitors :c) 

chulsoon lavellans a dalish rift mage n she loves pretty girls and throwing rage fits

soonbok cadash is an anxious lesbian warrior n she is supr andrastian lmao

Again i don’t know which version i like best. All i know is that I really love transfem Jax. My poor baby girl she could have someone so beautiful and I mourn her like a real person. She really is lovely.

Also i believe a dazey and the scouts reference to Jax could work really good and potentially kill me

Because no.

Jax wasn't lovely. Jax was awful, cruel and pushed everyone away, and never took a single chance given.

He wasn't lovely.

But she could have been.

Oh Jax. If you just accepted yourself and the people around you sooner, she could've have been lovely. You would've been happier with yourself and the world around you. If you loved yourself for who you were, you probably would've hurt less people.

But you let her exist far too late. It took someone personally traveling through your torment to the point you couldn't hide anything anymore, to let her breathe.

The moment you admitted "I don't want to go" when the entire rest of the series you were begging to fade away, you admitted you wanted to keep living as her. That's why the song started at that moment. She was born far too late.

She is lovely, yeah (*´∀`)♪

Loved this episode and everyone's character development. Tadc will always have a special place in my heart ♡

For those curious it’s Sylvester McCoy
